Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …

Going My Way movie
Going My Way is absolutely wonderful. With Bing Crosby in the lead, you know it’s going to be somewhat laid back, and it is. It’s a subtle work that touches the heart and spurs on our emotions. Crosby is Father O’Malley, and he’s been sent to …

2001: A Space Odyssey movie
Whenever I read reviews about this Stanley Kubiak film, I keep hearing about how it’s a classic and how it changed the movie industry.
Personally, whenever I see this movie, I find it extremely dull and confusing. The music in the background is enough to lull you to sleep and …
‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ movie
Star Wars movies that take place before “A New Hope” don’t have the best track record. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, however, they decided to take another crack at it.
Was this a way to milk the cash cow beyond just doing another trilogy? Yeah, …

Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …

I find horror movies interesting to watch. I cannot watch it when I am alone. Last week me and my friend went to the mall and saw this movie Drag me to Hell was being showed in the movie theaters. The movie is very horrifying and we screamed at …
Conan the Barbarian
Up until very recently I was more familiar with the movie “Conan the Destroyer” than I was with its nineteen eighty two prequel “Conan the Barbarian”. However, I was finally able to see the movie “Conan the Barbarian” on cable television when the cable television channel G4TV aired it …
Ghostbusters 2

The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …

A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
Movie Defiantely Maybe
My son and I went to the movies today. I wanted to see a light hearted movie that I had heard about. I wanted to see the movie entitled Defiantely Maybe. This movie was about a thirtysomething year old man who is in the midst of a …

A Roman Holiday (1953)
Just lately, I’ve been wondering why in my history of watching old films, I never sighted an Audrey Hepburn film in TCM, a channel repository for classic movies. Crouched in front of a grainy black and white TV screen, I like to pass the time as a nocturne …
Movie: Curious George

Kickass movie
The film “Kick-Ass” belongs to this unique type of works that when they’re ending, the viewer feels that he or she wants to see them again. Matthew Vaughn has proven that it can shoot a screening of the comic, which is virtually as good as the original. Even more, …
Larry the cable guy: health inspector
This was an overall pretty good movie. It was pretty funny for the most part also. I enjoyed watching the movie. It wasn’t one of my favorite movies but it’s worth watching. It’s a nice movie to watch when there is nothing else on television or on a day …
Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …

The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …

Lone Star movie
I’ve heard about Lone Star, but I’ve never been tempted to watch it. However, a friend sent it to me recently, so I figured I’d sit down and see how it was. There was actually a lead in to this with comments that intrigued me. Thus, …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
The Duff - Teen Movie (2015)
‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
Blades of Glory Movie (2007)
Not many people realize that the movie “Blades of Glory” is meant to be a spoof of the internationally acclaimed sport of ice-skating. If you want a movie that’s not a spoof, rent one of the all-time sports hero classics like “Rocky” or something of that nature. …

The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …
World Trade Center movie
This movie is about what happened in 9/11. Nicolas Cage plays the main character. Although the movie isn’t what I expected it to be It was really good and worth watching. I think that the movie is about something important that happened and everyone should see it. They did …
Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
A kidnapping in the family
This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
Meet the Parents Movie
An insane comedy with Ben Stiller and an aged Robert De Niro. Stiller is a young nervous man who comes to meet his parents in law for the first time, which results in chaos and lots of humoristic situations. I personally think Ben Stiller is a talented comedian, but …
DNAngel Episode 6 (Anime)

The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
The Crow Movie
One of the best movies ever made was “The Crow”. The story line is great and the characters are believable.

The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina - movie short
One of my favorite Doris Day films is “The Glass Bottom Boat” in which she stars with Rod Taylor and Arthur Godfrey. From 1966, The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina is a movie short that promotes the movie. It’s narrated by Godfrey, who goes back and forth …
Deadpool (2016 Superhero Movie)
